Beaune 1er Cru Pertuisots Croix (Domaine des) 2016

The wine

Domaine des Croix's Beaune Premier Cru Pertuisots has a slightly more tannic texture than the domaine's other premier crus, a peculiarity linked to the clay-limestone soil on which the vineyard is located: this premier cru is located near Pommard, which no doubt explains the commonality of style with the wines of this appellation. A great wine for aging.

About the Producer Domaine des Croix

David Croix was the winemaker at the famous Camille Giroud house in Beaune for nearly 15 years. In 2011 the business was bought by the American Ann Colgin, a winegrower at the top of the Napa Valley, with a financial backer. While working for Camille Giroud, in 2005 David Croix created his own impressive personal domain, with private capital from rich American wine enthusiasts, who gave him "carte blanche" as the director of the fledgling Croix domain. The domain's parcels were concentrated around Beaune, with numerous premiers crus, but also the neighbouring appellations of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. Although not certified, his wines are close today to the greatest organic names and his microcuvées sell like hot cakes around the world.
